Reginald George Thomas (2 January 1912 – 16 March 1983) [1] [2] was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back in the Football League for Southampton in the 1930s.
Ellison was born in Weymouth, Dorset and as a youth played for various clubs in his home town. In September 1930, he joined Southampton as an amateur, signing a professional contract in December. [3]
Described as a "hard-tackling full-back", he was used as cover for long-serving Bill Adams. He spent most of his time with the Saints in the reserves, making 83 appearances in his four years at The Dell. [3] His first-team debut came on 12 March 1932, when he took the place of Adams at right-back for the game against Bradford City, with Adams moving to the left in the absence of Arthur Roberts; the match was lost 1–0. Thomas retained his place for the next seven matches, before Charlie Sillett took over at left-back. [4]
Thomas remained with the Saints for another two years, although he never made another first-team appearance, but was confined to the reserves, for whom he made 83 appearances. [3]
In the summer of 1934, Thomas left professional football to join the Metropolitan Police Service, turning out occasionally for various non-league clubs across southern England. [3]
